This woman is absolutely insane. It's good you are getting out of there. But what a horrible thing to do to a person - especially when they are a family member. You uprooted your whole life based on this opportunity, which she pulled out from under you. Then to go and tell out-and-out lies to the parents - it's unconscionable. Wow. There are no other words. Wow. I know you will find something better than this. Hell, anything else is better than this. Just my two cents. And California will certainly welcome you back!
My problem now is, I can't tell if she's malicious or stupid! I guess she could be some kind of combination. Still, I have a feeling that her urgency to get me up here was to put me in charge before the inevitable failure so that she could pin it on me. I don't know if that's just paranoia, though.
She is a total piece of work. WTF is she thinking and why didn't your Dad talk to you about this if that is the case? I'm sorry you guys moved out there just to have to go through this BS.
I don't think that my dad knew what all was going on. He's not a part of the business, he has his own job. I think she kept him in the dark for as long as she could.
It could have been. And, for the record, that's not me tooting my own horn. ANYONE would be better at this job than her.
A few weeks ago when she was opening and I was coming in later, I got a text from an angry parent telling me that when she went to drop off her daughter, Helen was in the bathroom doing her make-up and curling her hair and the kids were just running around unsupervised.

As much as I appreciate the thought...
Seriously, though, at this point I just want out. I'm so fed up. I still love it here, and I want to come back here to settle down, but I need time away from this. Away from Helen and the whole day care situation.
And yes, state regs are part of it. The other part of it is the actual reason that we're closing. No money.
Helen is maintaining that "these parents are just horrid and they want to see us fighting". She's trying to convince me that one of them started this dirty rumor that she's been saying awful things, and passed it around to all the other parents.
When I point out that I got the same story from everyone and that they all heard it directly from her, she just shakes her head in disbelief at how well organized they are with their lies.
It seems as though she thinks that I'm an absolute idiot. It's infuriating.

Is it state regs that stop you from taking over now, as in tomorrow? If Helen fades into the grave this weekend...
...not promising nothing with my cursing, just sayin'.

I'm trying to hold it together, but wow, I'm livid. I'm just concentrating on trying not to completely freak out.
